Weaning mice
Weaning mice • Remove weaning-age mice (usually 21 days) from the parent cage. • Separate the pups by sex. • Mark the parent cage with a separation card; mark the weaned cages with separation stickers
Before you start Check the problem log to see if you expect to have any separations Check the room for green OC cards
Before you start • Check your watch!! What time is it? • If you don’t have a watch, check the time on your pager
Why are you checking the time? So you can fill out the Special Services Log when you are done. Date Principal Investigator’s Name Types of Service Cage Separation (# of cages) Other Services Number of Hours Performed By (Print Name) Initials
Before you start • Double-check the OC card – Is it a supervisor check? – Double-check that the weaning due date is correct- look at the weaning date calendar.

We determine the sex of mice by examining the genitals
It isn’t so easy to sex pups Female Male Female For pups, the ano-genital distance is used to determine sex.
The ano-genital distance is longer in males than in females
• Female pups have a shorter anogenital distance • Female pups have nipples (which may not be visible if the pups are furry)
What sex is this pup? l Male l Female
Sex pups 2 at a time • If they look the same, try again until you get one that looks different. • The one with the longer anogenital distance is the male. The other is the female. • Keep one pup of known sex, and use it to compare against the rest of the pups.
